Born at St James's, 6 February, 1665 ; married George, son 
of Frederick III, King of Denmark, in 1683, leaving no 
surviving issue; died at Kensington, i August, 1714. 

By the Act of Settlement, 1701, which excluded all 
Roman Catholics from succession to the throne, not only 
the children of James II by Mary of Modena were made 
incapable of succeeding to the Crown of England, but also 
the descendants of Henrietta Anne, Duchess of Orleans, 
daughter of Charles I, those of Charles Louis, Elector- 
Palatine, the eldest son of Elizabeth, daughter of James I, 
and those of Edward, fourth son of Elizabeth. 

The senior of these descendants at the present day is 
H.R.H, Mary Theresa, niece and heiress of the late Duke 
of Modena and consort of H.R.H. Prince Louis of Bavaria, 
by whom she has issue. 



A SKETCH OF THE FAMILY OF 
CROMWELL OR WILLIAMS 

About the year 1450 John Cromwell, a fuller of Norvvell 
near Cromwell, a village about five miles north of Newark in 
Nottinghamshire, went to live in Surrey. He obtained in 
1452 from the Archbishop of Canterbury, then Lord of the 
Manor, a lease for twenty-one years of a fulling-mill together 
with a house and six acres of land on the banks of the river 
Wandle in the manor of Wimbledon. 

This John Cromwell was in all probability a kinsman 
of Baron Ralph de Cromwell, of Tattershall Castle, Lincoln- 
shire, the Lord High Treasurer of England under Henry VI. 
Baron Ralph de Cromwell was descended in direct line from 
Baron John de Cromwell, who in 1308 was Constable of the 
Tower of London. 

At the time of the granting of the above mentioned lease 
Sir Gervase Clifford, who was secretary to Lord Treasurer 
Cromwell, was also custodian of the temporalities of the 
Archbishop of Canterbury. 

The ancestry of William Cromwell, the father of John 
already mentioned, can be traced up through several genera- 
tions to Ralph de Cromwell of Lambley, Nottinghamshire. 

John Cromwell of Wimbledon, who died about 1480, had 
two sons — John and Walter. 

John held land in Lambeth, and was also a brewer in 
Stockwell; he died in 1523, and was buried in Lambeth 
Churchyard. 



xviii A Sketch of the family of 

His two sons were also brewers ; their names together 
with that of their cousin Thomas (afterwards Lord Cromwell 
Earl of Essex) are found amongst the members of Cardinal 
Wolsey's household at Hampton Court in the subsidy assess- 
ment for the year 1526. 

Walter, the second son of the first John Cromwell of 
Wimbledon, is the ancestor of Oliver Cromwell the Protector. 

The lease of the fulling mill, etc., at Wimbledon was 
renewed to Walter in 1473. He also carried on business 
as a smith, an armourer, a brewer, and kept a hostelry in 
addition. He died about the year 15 16. 

It is needful to relate the story of only two of his 
children. Katherine, born about 1477, and Thomas, born 
about 1485. The latter became the celebrated minister of 
Henry VHI, and was created Lord Privy Seal and Baron 
Cromwell, 1536; Lord Chamberlain of England, 1539; Earl 
of Essex, 1540; and was executed 28 July, 1540. 

Katherine, his elder sister, married in 1494 in Putney 
parish church, Morgan Williams, the son of John Williams 
of Mortlake, whose early home was near Cardiff. 

They had a son, Richard Williams, of whom we know 
that he was so successful in a tournament held by Henry VHI 
that the king knighted him. After this Richard took his 
mother's name, Cromwell. As a consequence of this 
tournament Sir Richard Cromwell and his descendants 
took as their crest a lion rampant holding a ring in its 
right paw. 

Sir Richard, through his maternal uncle Sir Thomas 
Cromwell (afterwards Earl of Essex), obtained from Henry 
VHI, at the dissolution of the monasteries, the lands of 
Ramsey Abbey in Huntingdonshire, the convent at Hinchin- 
brook, and the priories of Saltrey, Huntingdon, and St Neots, 
and among other honours was made Constable of Berkeley 
Castle. 

He married in 15 18 Frances, daughter and co-heiress of 
Sir Thomas Murfyn, Lord Mayor of London. 

Their eldest son Henry married Joan, daughter of Sir 



Cromwell or Williams xix 

Ralph Warren, twice Lord Mayor of London. He was 
knighted by Queen Elizabeth in 1653. He entertained the 
Queen at Hinchinbrook on 18 August, 1654, after her visit to 
the University of Cambridge. He died early in 1603-4, and 
was buried in All Saints' Church in Huntingdon. On account 
of his great liberality he was called by his contemporaries 
the "Golden Knight." We need concern ourselves with only 
two of his children, Oliver and Robert. 

By the death of his uncle, Richard Warren, Oliver 
became possessed of large estates in Essex, at Great Easton, 
Newport-Pond, Low Leyton, etc. He was married twice, 
first, to Elizabeth, daughter of Sir Thomas Bromley, Lord 
Chancellor of England, and, second, to Ann, daughter of 
Egidius Hoostman of Antwerp, and widow of Sir Horatio 
Palavicini of Babraham, Cambridgeshire. He lived to the 
age of 93, and was buried at Ramsey, 28 August, 1655. He 
had five sons and five daughters, all, like himself, staunch 
Royalists. 

Sir Oliver's extreme liberality towards all, from monarch 
to labourer, compelled him to sell Hinchinbrook in 1627 to 
Sir Sidney Montagu, an ancestor of the Earl of Sandwich, 
and also Newport and Easton in Essex to Henry Maynard, 
Esq., an ancestor of the Countess of Warwick, to whom 
Easton Park now belongs. 

The fines and extortions of the Republican party nearly 
ruined Sir Oliver and his sons, so that almost the whole of 
their estates had gone from them when in 1675 Ramsey was 
purchased by Colonel Titus, the author of the pamphlet 
" Killing no murder." 

Henry, the eldest son of Sir Oliver, who was born 
25 August, 1586, took an active part on the Royalist side 
during the Civil War; as a consequence his estates were 
sequestered by the Parliamentary Commissioners, but Oliver, 
his cousin, then Lord Protector, caused them to be restored 
to him. Henry, who was married in 1602 died in 1657, two 
years after his father. 

Henry, his second son, who succeeded to the family estate, 



XX A Sketch of the family of 

retook the name of Williams, sat as member of Parliament 
for the County of Huntingdonshire, and voted in 1660 for the 
restoration of Charles II. He died 3 August, 1673. 

John, the third son of Sir Oliver, born 1589, became the 
Colonel of an English regiment in Holland. He was chosen 
by Prince Charles (Charles II), then an exile in Holland, to 
carry letters to Oliver his cousin and to beg the life of 
King Charles I, 

Robert, the second son of Sir Henry Cromwell, " the 
Golden Knight," died in June, 1617. He married Elizabeth, 
daughter of William Steward of Ely, reputed to be of the 
royal Stuart line\ 

Oliver Cromwell, afterwards Lord Protector, the second 
son of this marriage, was born in St John's parish, Huntingdon, 
on 25 April, 1599. He was educated at the Huntingdon 
Grammar School and at Sidney Sussex College, Cambridge, 
which he entered as Fellow-Commoner on 23 April, 1616. 
Upon the death of his father in 16 17 he left Cambridge with- 
out proceeding to a degree, as was usual with men of his 
rank, going to study law at Lincoln's Inn. He married, 
22 August, 1620, Elizabeth, daughter of Sir James Bouchier 
of Felsted, Essex, by whom he had five sons and four 
daughters. He was first cousin to John Hampden. 

The electors of Huntingdon chose him as their repre- 
sentative in the third Parliament of Charles I, which met 
on 20 January, 1628 ; he became Justice of the Peace for 
Huntingdon, 1630, and member for Cambridge, 1640. His 
career in Parliament and in military matters would require

The death warrant of Charles I was signed by Cromwell 
on 27 January, 1649. He was installed as Protector, 
16 December, 1653. His second Parliament offered him 
the title of King, an honour which the stubborn resistance

Cromwell or Williams xxi 

of the Republican army officers decided him to decline. 
He died at Whitehall, 3 September, 1658, and was buried 
in Westminster Abbey. After the Restoration of Charles II 
his body was disinterred, hung on the gallows at Tyburn, and 
afterwards buried at its foot. The gallows stood near the 
Marble Arch, Hyde Park, perhaps on the site of no. 49, 
Connaught Place. 

Cromwell's skull, which was embalmed, there is little 
reason to doubt, is in the possession of the Reverend Horace 
Ricardo Wilkinson, of Trinity College, Cambridge, Vicar of 
Stoke-by-Nayland, Colchester. 

The mot in connexion with the reputed skull of Oliver in 
the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford, that " it must be the skull of 
Oliver Cromwell when he was a young man " was made by 
the late Professor Rolleston. 

Richard Cromwell, the third son of Oliver, was born at 
Huntingdon, 4 October, 1626. In 1649 he married Dorothy, 
daughter of Richard Major of Hursley, Hants. He sat in 
Oliver's House of Lords, was proclaimed Protector on his 
father's death, and practically deposed by the army in May, 
1659. He retired to France, lived in Paris under the name of 
John Clarke, returned to England about 1680, and died at 
Cheshunt, 12 July, 171 2, and is buried in Hursley Church, 
Hampshire, where he had an estate by right of his wife. 

Henry Cromwell, the fourth son of Oliver, was born at 
Huntingdon, 20 January, 1628. He married in 1653 
Elizabeth, daughter of Sir Francis Russell of Chippenham, 
Cambridgeshire. After serving in the Parliamentary Army 
he was made Lord Deputy of Ireland in 1657. When the 
Restoration took place he resided at Chippenham and later 
at Spinney Abbey near Soham. In September, 167 1, 
Charles II, on his way from Newmarket, called at the Abbey 
and partook of some refreshment with Henry Cromwell. 
Henry died at Spinney Abbey, 23 March, 1674, and is 
buried in the chancel of Wicken Church,

crown. 

This stick, which is probably of French workmanship, was used

remained until a few years ago, when it was presented by the present 
holder of the title to the lender.

77. Snuff Box.

possession of the Deane family till it became the property of the 
present owner. The yew tree was removed to make way for ex- 
tending Glasgow. 



Lent by the Rt. Hon. the Earl of Denbigh 

78. A Manuscript Latin Mnemonic, or Rebus, 

Bible. 

Of German origin ; once the property of Prince Henry, the elder 
brother of King Charles I, who died in 1612. It is possible that 
this small illuminated vellum book came into the possession of the 
English Royal Family through the Queen of Bohemia, daughter of 
James the First of England, and from her passed into the keeping 
of Prince Henry, who esteemed it so greatly that he caused it to be 
handsomely bound in an English binding, and carefully treasured it. 
The following is an interesting description of the outside of the 
book, given by Mr Everard Green, Rouge Dragon, Heralds' College, 
London : " The back has five panels with four bands and two 
pallets, and the bands and pallets have a slight cortized seriated 
ornament in gold. On the sides, each of the four corners has a gilt 
device of two arrows in saltire, points in base, surmounted by a heart, 
and ensigned with a royal Crown, within base a fleur de /is, and in 
the flaunches, a Tudor Rose. The central gilt stamp on either side 
is oval and consists of the Prince of Wales' feathers, enfiled with 
a crown, and surrounded by two olive branches slipped in base." 
This stamp was made expressely for Prince Henry. 

79. Gloves of Flora Macdonald. 

The Jacobite heroine (1722 — 1790), daughter of Ranald Mac- 
donald, a farmer at Milton, South Uist. While on a visit to the 
Clanranalds in Benbecula (Hebrides) in 1746, she met Prince 
Charles Edward during his flight after CuUoden, and helped the 
Prince to reach Skye. She was imprisoned in the Tower of London 
after the Prince's escape, was released by the Act of Indemnity, 1747, 
married Allan Macdonald, 1750, emigrated to North Carolina, 1774, 
returned to Scotland in 1779.

Exhibition 1 3 

Lent by the Misses Dennis, Garland Street, 
Bury St Edmunds 

80. Casket of Wood and Tortoiseshell. 

The panels are embroidered with ten figures in very high rehef ; 
the front has two doors which when open disclose five drawers with 
ornamented fronts in silk. An exquisite specimen of applique work 
of the Stuart period. Each figure, garment, flower, piece of foliage, 
grass, etc. is of the finest needlework and is made separately of fine 
lace, crochet, and other work. 

The subjects are allegorical and pastoral as is usually the case in 
needlework of the period. Embroidered on a fountain in one of the 
front panels are the letters "a. b. 1674." 

The work is English and probably unique.

88. Lambeth Ware Drinking Vessel. 
In form of a cat, dated 1657. 

89. Lambeth Ware Drinking Pot. 

With names and date 1650. 

No plate had John or Joan to hoard 

Plain folks of humble plight ; 
One only tankard crowned their board 

And that was filled each night. 

John swallowed first a moderate sup, 

But Joan was not like John, 
For when her lips once touched the cup 

She swilled till all was gone. 

90. A Beechwood Goblet. 

Also for joint use, dated 1645. Engraved and inscribed "If 
ayov be a good hussi and yovse a goode meanes yov muste seeke to

Series of more or less Stuart 
significance 

94. TORTOISESHELL SnUFF BoX. 
With silver effigy of Charles I on lid. 

95. Perforated Silver "Counters Box." 

1 1 inches x i^ inches, with bust of Charles I on lid. The enclosed 
counters present the portraits of the English Kings and other Royalties 
of which the most interesting is that of Prince Henry, son of James I, 
who, in reference to Sir W. Raleigh, said of his father, " no king but 
my father would keep such a bird as that in a cage." Had this 
prince come to the throne it is probable that the history of England 
onward would have been wholly changed. 

96. Copper Beaker. 

Inscribed " Heres to Prince Charlie." The following Jacobite 
song by Mesham is dated 1749. 

God Bliss the Prince of Wales 
The true born Prince of Wales 

Sent us by Thee 
Grant us one favor more 
The King for to restore, 
As thou hast done before, 

The familie. 

God bliss the subjects all. 
And save both great and small, 

In every station ; 
That will bring home the King 
Who has best right to reign ; 
It is the only thing 

Can save the Nation. 

97. Knife and Fork. 

In black leather case, agate handles probably intended for a 
man's use. That all these knives and forks are nearly contemporary 
is indicated by the fact that all the leather cases are of precisely 
similar character. Temp. James I. 

98. Knife and Fork. 

With silver-mounted wooden handles. Their owners initials

119. Marriage medal of Charles I and Henrietta 
Maria. 

Unpublished in gold. 

Obverse: Busts of Charles and his Queen face to face. 

Reverse: Cupid scattering roses and lilies. 

Struck for distribution at the marriage of Charles I with Henrietta, 
daughter of Henry IV of France. The wedding took place in 
England in June 1625, but it is more likely that the medalettes were 
originally made in France where the first ceremony by proxy was 
performed in the previous May. Nicholas Briot to whom they are 
attributed was at that time still residing in Paris, but commoner cast 
examples were freely copied in England.

120. Memorial of Charles I. 

Obverse : Bust of Charles. 

Reverse : Salamander amid flames. 

Legend: Constantia Caesaris 30 Jan. 1648. 

The Salamander was frequently adopted as an emblem of fortitude 
and typifies the patience under sufferings of the King. This bust by 
Thomas Rawlins is used with varying reverses but is very rare with 
this reverse. 

121. Memorial of Charles I. 
By Thomas Rawlins. 

Obverse : Bust of Charles bearing in his hand a crown of thorns. 

Reverse: Rock buffeted by winds and waves. 

The design for this badge is taken from the " emblem " picture 
prefixed to many editions of Eikon Basilike where the words Immota 
Triumphans the rock and the crown typify the King's endurance. 

122. Silver box. 

Containing bust of Charles I taken from a badge by Rawlins. 
The lid of the box is engraved with the letters h-o-p-e and a star 
typical of the desired Restoration. 

123. Badge of Charles I. 

By Thomas Rawlins. Silver gilt. 

Obverse : Bust of Charles within border. 

Reverse: Royal Arms crowned within Garter. 

This bust appears with many reverses, but was first used by 
Rawlins at the outbreak of the Civil War on the Declaration of 
Parliament Badge. Rawlins served the King throughout the war 
and most of the badges are attributable to him or consist in casts 
and copies made from his works. 

124. Heart-shaped silver locket. 

Obverse: Heart pierced by arrows. 

Reverse : Weeping eye. 

Contains secret portrait of Charles I by Thomas Rawlins of the 
tiny type which is known with various reverses and which is said to 
have been used in war time by Royal messengers as a token easy of 
concealment.

125. Example of a medal. 

By Rawlins, usually classed as a pattern for a coin. 

Obverse: Bust of Charles. 

Reverse : Royal Arras within garter. 

The setting is Dutch, such as was made in West Friesland in 
the early half and middle of the 17th century. It is therefore likely 
that the ornament was made and the pendant pearl affixed for some 
member of the court of Mary, the daughter of Charles I and wife of 
William II of Orange, who married in 1641. 

126. Charles Prinxe of Wales (afterwards 

Charles II). 

Obverse: Bust of the Prince, the same as that which appeared 
on the Forlorn Hope medal, thus fixing the date to the year 1642. 

Reverse: Royal Arms crowned within Garter.

By Thomas Simon, in gold. 
Obverse: Bust of Charles II. 
Reverse: Charles seated on his throne crowned by Peace. 

128. Coronation Medal of Charles II. 
By Thomas Simon. 

Obvtrse : Bust of Charles II. 

Reverse : Oak tree in full leaf bearing 3 crowns and date 2^ April 
1661. 

Legend: Jam Florescit. This motto is used in fulfilment of the 
hope often expressed on the pre-Restoration Badges where a leafless 
oak was surrounded with the words " Tandem Revirescet.''

149. Portrait of Prince Charles Edward Stuart 

with steel breastplate and Order of the Garter; said to be

150. The Pale Blue Silk Vest 

worn by King Charles I on the scaffold and stained with his 
blood. "This waistcoat was worn by King Charles I »" J^e 
scaffold, and from the scaffold came into the hands of Dr Hobbs, 
his physician, who attended him on that occasion. The Doctor 
preserved this relic of his Royal Master, and from him it came 
into the possession of Suzannah Hobbs, his daughter, who married 
Temple Stanger of Rawlings in Oxfordshire." The foregoing 
account of this waistcoat was taken from the testimony of Dame 
Grace Stanger, second wife of the above-mentioned Temple Stanger, 
in 1767. It descended from them to Temple Hardy, Esq.: here 
the exact details are incomplete, but no doubt through a daughter 
of the Suzannah Hobbs who first married Temple Stanger. The 
relic was left by Temple Hardy at his death to Admiral D Aeth 
of Knowlton Court, in the county of Kent, who died in 1873. 
The Secret History of Whitehall, p. 302, contains the following 
statement: "The Bishop (Juxon) put on his (the King's) nightcap 
and unclothed him to his sky blue vest."

the Arms of Trelawny of Trelawne. As the box is of the 
Restoration period or perhaps even of the Commonwealth, the 
owner was doubtless Sir John Trelawny, ist Bart., created 1628, who 
died in 1665. He was an ardent Royalist, and was committed by 
the Commons to the Tower for doing good service to the King's 
cause in his own County, and it was concerning him and not as is 
popularly believed with regard to his grandson the Bishop that 
"twenty thousand Cornishmen were determined to know the reason 
why."

235. One of a Pair of Gloves. 

The gauntlet is very richly embroidered in gold and silver threads 
and coloured silks, heartsease and other flowers ; worn by King 
Charles I. 

The history of this glove is as follows : — 

"The original possessor of this relic was Dr Baldwin Harney 
the younger, the well-known physician who lived in the times of 
Charles I and Charles II, and who was intimately associated 
with both these kings. On the death of the Doctor in 1676, 
the relic passed into the keeping of his sister, who was married 
to a Mr Palmer. It remained for some years in the Palmer 
family and then passed into the Gundry family, the Palmers and 
Gundrys being connected by marriage. The Gundry family 
was connected with the family of Ridout of Deans Lease, 
Wichampton, and through that connection it passed into 
the hands of Sir George Ridout Bingham of Binghams Mel- 
combe, who was the son of Elizabeth the daughter and heiress 
of John Ridout of Deans Lease. Sir George died about the 
year 1833 without issue, bequeathing the relic to his widow,

by whom it was given to Sir George's sister Mary, who was 
married to Nathaniel Tryon Still. On the death of Nathaniel 
Tryon Still the relic came into the possession of his son John 
Thomas Still, the late husband of the present owner."

254. A Set of Eight Roundel Trenchers. 

Ornamented with strap-work designs and flowers, and inscribed 
with Biblical texts. C 1580, 

An unusually fine set of these trenchers, of which but few have 
survived to our time. Some sets bear facetious rhymes ; some, as in 
the present instance, scriptural texts upon the good (or bad) moral 
qualities ; while in rare cases the trenchers are ornamented with 
pictures and rhymes descriptive of the different professions or trades. 
The precise use of these little trenchers is still uncertain, but it is 
probable that they were laid face downwards by the side of the 
guests at table for "marchepanes" or comfits, or possibly held, blank 
side upwards, for the guest to choose one, as from a pack of cards. 
The characters thus assigned by lot were often not too flattering, and 
were no doubt provocative of mirth.

265. An embroidered Miniature Portrait of 

Charles I. 

Copied from one of the ten prints Hollar did of the King. The 
ground is white satin and the work is done in fine silks. This 
miniature belonged to Dr Baldwin Hamey the younger, who was

died in 1676, when the miniature, with other Stuart relics, passed to 
his sister, Mrs Palmer. It remained for some years in the Palmer 
family ; then came into the possession of the family of Gundry, 
connections of the Palmers by marriage; through the Gundrys it 
passed to their relatives the Ridouts, and from them to Sir George 
Ridout Bingham, who died without issue in 1833. Sir George 
bequeathed the miniature and other relics to his sister, Mrs Tryon 
Still, in whose family they remained until 1904. The miniature was 
shown at the Exhibition of the Royal House of Stuart held in the 
New Gallery in 1888-9.

294. Notes struck from the original plate, 
engraved for Prince Charles. 

Paper Money. For raising funds during the Highland Rising 
1745 for Prince Charles Edward. The want of the sinews of war 
was "severely felt by the Royalist Commanders, and the issue of 
paper money was the result of this necessity. 

Sir Robert Strange, the afterwards famous engraver, when a 
young man came under the influences of love : his innamorata was 
a zealous Jacobite (her brother being private secretary to the Prince), 
and she induced her lover to join the army of Prince Charlie, the 
reward for such service being the gift of her heart and hand. 
Strange, or Strang as it was originally spelt, became a trooper in the 
Prince's Life Guards, and when the headquarters of the army were 
at Inverness Strange was commissioned to carry out the designing 
and engraving of paper notes. He overcame the many difficulties 
of getting copper plates and etching tools, but while the operations 



42 Stuart and Cromwellian 

were being perfected news came that the Duke of Cumberland had 
crossed the Spey. Everything was abandoned in the hurry of pre- 
paring to oppose the advancing host. The Battle of CuUoden was 
fought and lost. Then followed the scattering of the Clans and the 
butchery of their followers, the beginning of the Prince's adventurous 
wanderings and his final escape from the country. The Copperplate 
engraved by Strange was found many years afterwards on a Highland 
moor, dropped, no doubt, during the retreat after the dispersion of 
Prince Charlie's men. It became ultimately the property of Cluny 
Macpherson, and is now in Cluny Castle. Strange escaped all 
pursuit and obtained his reward by marrying his first love, and later 
on gained great fame and honour as an engraver.

389. List of Needlework Pictures. 

(1) A Needlework Picture, c. 1735. The scene is a 
garden containing a classical building, and an avenue of Oak 
Trees. In the foreground is a lady wearing a dress of blue, 
trimmed with lace and ribbons, the highlights of which are 
worked in silk. 

(2) A Needlework Picture in Petit Point, representing an 
Italian Minstrel and a lady in a garden. 'I'he design is probably 
inspired by some French Print of the Watteau School. Signed 
and dated M. K. 1748. 

(3) A Needlework Panel in Gros Point and Petit Point, of 
Adam and Eve in the Garden. The animals in the foreground 
are those commonly met with upon Stump Work Pictures of the 
period of Charles I. Late 17th century. 

(4) A Needlework Picture. Subject: " Isaac and Rebekah." 
Signed A. C The figures are represented in the dress of the 
early years of Charles I. The manner of stitching by dots is an 
interesting survival of the previous century, c. 1630. 

(5) A Panel of Petit Point copied from a Mortlake 
Tapestry. Middle of 17th century. The stitching of this 
panel is remarkably fine. 

(6) A Stump Work Picture. c. 1670. Representing 
Charles I and his Queen. The dresses are represented even to 
the most minute details.

450. Small Snuff Box 

of brass inlaid with mother-of-pearl, which belonged to Oliver 
Cromwell, who, when revisiting his old College, Sidney Sussex, 
many years after leaving the University, gave it to his old laundress 
(or bedmaker as such a person is now called) whom he found still a 
servant in the College. 

The box has been treasured in the family, and was recently 
purchased from a living representative by the present owner. 

451. Beautifully carved Oak Snuff Box. 
The lid bears the Royal Arms of Ireland, date about 1 66o. 

452. A Miniature 

on a mahogany panel, of Prince Charles Edward Stuart. The 
Prince is wearing a light yellow wig with black bow, a red, gold-laced, 
coat, a white jabon or stock, and the blue ribbon of the Garter. 

On the back of the picture, in old writing, is the following : 

" This Portrait of Charles Stuart, Pretender, I bought at the 
sale of Mr Broadris's effects. Mr Kerrich had seen him (the 
Prince) at Rome and thought it very like him. (Signed) E. D. 
Clarke." 

E. D. Clarke was the celebrated traveller and mineralogist, and 
Mr (Thomas) Kerrich was the Cambridge Librarian from 1748 to 
1828, he therefore probably saw the Prince when on a visit to Rome 
soon after the first-named date. 

On the back of the frame, which has all the appearance of being 
the original one, can be deciphered these lines, written in ancient 
characters : 

" God bless the King, I mean the faith's defender 
God bless, no harm, in blessing the Pretender, 
But which Pretender is and which is King, 
God bless us all ! that's quite another thing ! " 

One may infer from these lines that this miniature was at some 
early date in the possession of a Loyal Jacobite.

476. Highland Dag, or Pistol. 

Entirely of steel, the stock and barrel beautifully engraved. The 
name on the lock k. michie. is that of one of the celebrated makers 
of these weapons who followed his trade in Doune. The small knob 
in the butt end unscrews and forms a picker for cleaning the touch- 
hole of the flint lock. These pistols formed a part of the trappings 
of the men of the Highland clans till the disarming Act after 
the '45. 

477. Highland Dag. 

Same type, but of a rarer character, the combination of brass

491. Plug Bayonet 

for fixing in the muzzle of the musket after the discharge of 
ammunition; introduced about 1670, but did not come into 
general use till 1686. This Bayonet belongs to the reign of 
King James II. After the battle of Killicrankie, General Hugh 
Mackay invented a method whereby the bayonet was fastened by 
a couple of rings to slip outside the barrel of the musket. This 
enabled the soldier to fire while the bayonet remained fixed. The 
plug bayonet did not go altogether out of use till 1690, at which 
time it formed part of the equipment of the Grenadiers. The brass 
quillons terminate in helmeted heads. 

492. Plug Bayonet.

excise stamp on the lip \\R crowned. 



500. A PAIR OF Gloves of King Charles I. 

These have been in the possession of the Milward's of Eton 
Dovedale, near Uttoxeter, Derbyshire, till they were recently acquired 
from a representative of the family by the present owner. King 
Charles was a frequent visitor to the mansion of Sir Thomas Milward 
(whom His Majesty knighted during a visit) and these gloves were 
left by him on one of these occasions. (See Redfern's " Royal and 
Historic Gloves and Shoes.") 



501. The Naseby Gloves. 

These are believed to have belonged to a Royalist lady who was 
at Naseby with the Cavalier army when the King was fatally defeated 
on June 14th, 1645, and that in the hurried flight which ensued, 
these gloves, together with many other belongings of the Royalists, 
were left behind. Till a few years ago they were treasured by a lady 
named Clarence, who was a native of Naseby. (See Redfern's 
'' Royal and Historic Gloves and Shoes.") 

502. Gloves of Oliver Cromwell. 

A well autlienticated pair of gloves of Oliver Cromwell. They 
were preserved in the Cromwell family till comparatively recent 
times, when about 70 years since they were given to an old gentle- 
man named Charles Martin (who died at the age of 92), of Fordham, 
Cambs., who had them from his aged mother, who had received 
them from a relative who had been in the service of either Henry 
Cromwell (son of Oliver) of vSpinney Abbey, Wicken, Cambs., or 
in that of William Russell, of Fordham, who was son-in law of 
Henry Cromwell. Inside the left-hand cuff or gauntlet is attached 



76 



Stuart and Cromwellian 



a worn and faded piece of ancient paper on which, in writing of the 
period, now partly obliterated, is this inscription : 

" These gloves did . . . . ng to 
Oliver Cromwell and was the 
gift of a gentleman of 
Huntingdon. 1704." 



"Cromwell was a native of 
Huntingdon, that family having 
resided there many ages." 

The date, which evidently refers to the time of the writing on the 
label, brings the memorandum to within forty-six years of the death 
of Oliver, and from the wording of it, it would appear that the gloves 
were a presentation from an admirer of the Protector. Several 
generations of the Cromwell family married, lived, died and were 
buried in the Wicken district. Several of their tombs still remain in 
the chancel of Wicken Church. (See Redfern's "Royal and Historic 
Gloves and Shoes.")

516. Glove or Gauntlet of Mary Stuart, Queen 

OF Scots, 

This glove is said to have been given by Mary Stuart, on the 
morning of her execution, to Marmaduke Darell, who was Master of 
the Household at Fotheringay and remained in charge there after 
the Queen's death. The glove was preserved in the Darell family 
until 1837 A.D., when it was deposited in the Saffron Walden Museum 
by Francis Dayrell, Esq., of Shudy Camps Park, Cambs. 

The glove is of soft leather, dark fawn or brown in colour, 
14I inches in length, and has a richly decorated cuff. The seams 
are finely piped and the whole glove is very neatly and strongly made. 
The upper part of the cuff has a design of flowers, worked upon the 
plain leather, in gold and coloured threads, and also bears a series of 
semicircular lines connecting the flowers and forming a decorative 
border to the main band of ornament ; this consists of a broad 
edging to the lower part of the cuff and wrist slit, the field of which 
is silver thread and the edgings of raised gold stitching. Raised 
conventional flowers and the figure of a peacock are worked on the 
surface in gold and coloured threads. A narrow band of crimson 
silk, to which is attached a net-like fringe of gold-faced thread bearing 
three rows of small circular metal spangles, completes the decoration. 
The sides of the cuff are held together, as is usual with gloves of the 
period, by a pair of wide silk ribbons decorated with gold thread. 

517. Shoe of Elizabeth, Queen of Bohemia. 

One of a pair of shoes once in the possession of Lady Cotton of 
Conington, Cambs., who had been in the service of Princess Elizabeth 
the daughter of King James I. The shoe is authenticated by 
Matthew Rugeley and Joseph Miller, Sep. 2nd, 1747.

to be used, generally at secret meetings, till long after the Highland 
Rising of the '45. A favourite toast was " To the King " — the wine 
glasses being held over a bowl of water in the centre of the table. 
Thus the toast appeared loyal enough, but was really "To the 
King over the water."

Exhibition 83 

Lent by the Master and Fellows of 
Sidney Sussex College, Cambridge 

551. The Portrait of Oliver Cromwell. By 
Cooper. 

This original portrait in crayons was probably taken from life, for 
it represents him worn and faded from the fatigues of life. It was 
presented to the College in 1766 by Thomas Hollis, an antiquary, 
who sent it with two unsigned letters as follows : 

"To the Master and Fellows of Sidney Sussex College, Cam- 
bridge. An Englishman, an assertor of liberty, citizen of the world, 
is desirous of having the honour to present an original portrait in 
crayons of the head of O. Cromwell, Protector, drawn by Cooper, to 
Sidney Sussex College, in Cambridge. London, Jan. 15, 1766. 

' I freely declare it, I am for old Noll ; 
Though his government did a tyrant's resemble, 
He made England great, and her enemies tremble.' 

It is requested that the portrait should be placed so as to receive 
the light froiii left to right, and be free from sunshine. Also that 
the favour of a line may be written on the arrival of it, directed to 
Pierce Delver, at Mr Shore's, bookbinder in Maiden Lane, Covent 
Garden, London." 

The Secofid letter. 

"A small case was sent yesterday by the Cambridge waggon 
from the Green Dragon, Bishopsgate Street directed to Dr Elliston, 
Master of Sidney Sussex College, Cambridge, free of carriage. It 
contains a portrait which the Master and Fellows of that College are 
requested to accept. London, Jan. 18, 1766." 

Thomas Hollis died in 1774, but it appears from his memoirs 
that his secret was known in 1780. {Notes atid Queries, Feb. 24, 
1872.)

Engraved Portrait, with sword and helmet in foreground, died 
Nov. 4th, 1 791, aged 94. "She kept a hospitable board in the old 
tower, had troops of friends and was ever ready, in good natured 
pride, to show the trophies of her house — the helmet and sword (of 
King Robert Bruce) to the patriotic pilgrim of whatever degree. On 
the guest of gentle blood she would sometimes confer the honour of 
knighthood with the two-handed sword : nor did she consider the 
ceremony entirely jocular, or barren of distinction, though conscious 
that it went for nothing at the Herald's College." Billing's "Baronial 
Antiquities of Scotland." See also Dennistoun's " Memoirs of Sir 
Robert Strange and Andrew Lumisden." Vol. 11., p. 144.

592. Two White Roses of Cambric. 

Made by Isabel Lumisden, sister of Andrew Lumisden, then 
betrothed to Robert Strange. Sir Thomas Strange writes " My 
excellent mother, warm in all her affections, and teeming with that 
loyalty for which her family have been distinguished, made it a 
condition with her lover, betrothed to her at the time, as he was, 
that she should fight for her Prince." Family tradition connects 
these white roses with the triumphal entry of Prince Charles into 
Edinburgh. 

593. Prayer Book of the Church of EngLxVnd. 

Published in Edinburgh, 1744, with label inside "Isabella 
Lumisden 1747." This Prayer Book has been carefully corrected. 
In the prayers for the King's Majesty, and for the Royal Family, 
and in the Litany, the words "George" and "Frederick" have been 
covered with sHps of paper on which "James" and "Charles" have 
been written. 

594. Five secret Despatches. 

A grey pebble box containing five small rolls, being com- 
munications passed between the Jacobites. They were concealed 
in curls of wigs, hollow of whips, or in the spur-holes of boots. One 
of them is a coloured plan of the setting of the troops for the battle 
of Falkirk.

despatches.

600. Engraved Portrait of John Ashton, 

'Jacobite Martyr.' 

Taken from the original by J. Riley. The original was bequeathed 
by Mr Ashton's daughter, Mary Venn, to her eldest daughter, but 
has since been lost. John Ashton was for many years a confidential 
servant of the Duke of York (James II), and afterwards of the 
Queen, Mary of Modena. He was tried for High Treason for his 
part in what is known as Lord Preston's Plot, and, being convicted, 
was executed at Tyburn, Jan. 28, 1690 — i. 

The Queen stood godmother to his daughter, and only surviving 
child, Maria, who afterwards married the Rev. Richard Venn, rector 
of St Antholin's, London. 

John Ashton was the great, great, great, grandfather of the lender 
of this portrait. 

Lent by Miss Venn, Freston, near Ipswich 

601. John Ashton of Penketh, Lanes., like others of 
his family, suffered for his loyalty to the Stuarts. He 
was for many years in the service of James II, and 
was concerned in the well-known plot of Lord Preston 
and others, of which a full account is ofiven in the 
State Trials, 1690. He was executed at Tyburn, 
Jan. 28, 1690-1. He left one daughter, Maria Ann 



92 Stuart and Cromwellian 

Isabella Margaretta Beatrix, who married Richard 
Venn, rector of St Antholin's, London. The unusual 
conjunction of Christian names was due to the fact 
that the Queen, Maria Beatrix of Modena, stood 
god-mother to the child. 

As marriage and wedding presents, or as testi- 
monies of regard, the following articles came into 
possession of Maria Venn, after her mother's early 
death in 1695. They have remained in the family 
ever since, and are at present in possession of Miss 
Venn of Freston, near Ipswich, by whom they are lent 
to this exhibition. 

(i) A portion of the Ribbon of the Garter, worn by 
Charles I at his execution. 

(2) A clock which had belonged to Charles II. 

(3) A snuffbox made from the Boscobel oak. 

As personal relics of John Ashton himself, the 
'Jacobite Martyr' as he was commonly called, the 
following are of interest : 

(i) His engraved portrait. (The original oil-paintings of 
John Ashton and of his wife, Mary Rigby, are mentioned in 
the will of Mrs Venn, but have since been lost.) 

(2) A small volume (Burnet's Conferences) belonging to 
him, and containing his autograph, and a note in his wife's 
handwriting.
